a doorway to inspiration...

everywhere I look here at the farm

new little delights have popped up...

pretty colors

purples and greens

whites 

yellows and green 

greens of all sorts 

even greens with pretty pinks and whites attached! 

and then there is this solid

glorious

brilliant BRIGHT spring green..

it takes your breath away

and makes one wonder..

what colors it holds inside! 

all this greenery has inspired us..

well ok..

ME to go further with the green..

since I have finally agreed to a new GREEN roof

to be put on some time later this year..

I felt things needed a change in the DOOR department

I want to paint the FRONT door..

but will start with the porch door..

because we have to repair the glass anyways..

it shattered thanks to Little Man's enthusiasm for opening and closing

so FIRMLY!

Machine Man chose some sort of FANCY plexi glass

and it's practically bullet proof..

Which on the farm, MIGHT come in handy...

(just KIDDIN!)

so to paint the doors

I went to Tattered Tiques again

and bought me some of THIS!

Antibes Green.. 

yep GREEN

but who would have guessed it would be THIS green! 

no that isn't bad lighting.. it's SUPER green

crazy..

nearly fluorescent! 

yah.. and I have that stressed out feeling.. but

am choosing to WALK by faith..

or rather paint by faith...

(is that EVEN scriptural??)

I want the new wood trim to sort of match the old world look...

so ...

when I got me some of that green,

I also got 

this! 

and now to add some of the dark wax to the 

VERY green wood trim

the one on the left is NOT stained..

compared with the three on the right 

whatcha think?

C.S. thinks IT is crazy fun!

it's so bold!

will I fix it like that trim?? 

here is what the other side of the door looks like, since I failed to 

get a snap picture of it for you to start with...

I will paint this too.. 

NOW for waxing the other side

so Machine Man doesn't fall over

we have workmen here doing some things..

and they are looking at THAT door

like we are a bit..

off..

IF ya know what I mean... 

do you see the top and the far right?

that is with the stain.. the rest is without..

whatcha think?

all complete on this side!

now to do the other side and get that window in..

it's a VERY old door, 

and NOW we can see the details!

I think we LOVE it!

look at those details..

I think I might paint inside them another time..

so pretty!

Machine Man NEVER knew that was there!

ta Dah!

the other side complete 

and the window is IN!

tomorrow..

the front door!

loving this Annie Sloan Chalk paint!

how about you?
